A December Birthday

The tree is sparkling and Direct TV channel 801 is playing all of the Christmas songs I haven't heard in a long time.  Every present will be wrapped in gold or silver paper this afternoon, except for one.  That lone gift is a Buzz Lightyear backpack and sleeping bag for Mr. Gavin Lyman - who turns two this month.

Makes me wonder as I run the scissors through the cartoon paper.... is it a blessing or a curse to have a December birthday?  I mean, a birthday this time of year would be a great for the child, but it could make for an expensive month.  I'm thinking ahead to next year, grateful these babies are coming in the spring.  Green ribbon tied on top... and it's done!  Gavin's present.  I can't wait to see his face when he opens it.

I double-checked the invitation and realized the party's not until 5:30.  What I didn't check was the DATE. Ohhh Monrohhh!  The party is NEXT Saturday.
